Ukraine is not negotiating the purchase of Russian vaccine against COVID-19

“No applications for state registration of the Russian vaccine“ Gam-COVID-Vac ”have been received in the prescribed manner.

In addition, according to available information, this product also did not undergo examination and registration in the competent authorities of the United States, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Canada or the EU, which actually makes it impossible to purchase and use it in Ukraine, ”the Ukrainian Ministry of Health said.
